Your Los Angeles Personal Injury Lawyers Fighting for Justice
Your Advocate After Life-Changing Accidents
Fighting for Justice in Every California Personal Injury Case
Personal injury law in California is designed to protect people who have been harmed due to someone else’s negligence, recklessness, or intentional actions. At Hakakian Law Group, our Los Angeles personal injury attorneys combine deep legal knowledge with relentless advocacy to help accident victims secure the compensation they deserve.
Whether your injuries stem from a collision on the 405, a slip-and-fall at a local business, or a serious incident in one of LA’s neighborhoods—from West Hollywood to Glendale—we know how to navigate Caliornia’s complex personal injury laws and fight for your rights.
How We Approach Your Case
Understanding the Law
Personal injury cases in California often rely on proving negligence—showing that another party failed to act reasonably and caused harm. We also handle matters involving strict liability, such as certain defective product claims.
Strategic Advocacy
From the moment you contact us, we focus on building a strong case. This includes gathering evidence, consulting medical experts, and negotiating aggressively with insurance companies to maximize your compensation.
Trial-Ready Representation
While many cases settle, we prepare every claim as if it will go to trial—ensuring we’re ready to present your case before a judge or jury if necessary.
Types of Personal Injury Cases We Handle
We represent clients in a wide range of cases, including:
Common Accident Injuries
Our clients come to us with a range of injuries—from whiplash and broken bones to traumatic brain injuries and spinal cord damage. We work with trusted medical professionals to document the full extent of your harm and pursue fair compensation.
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in California?
In most California personal injury cases, you have two years from the date of the injury to file a lawsuit. If the claim is against a government entity (such as a fall on city-owned property), the deadline is much shorter—usually six months. Missing these deadlines may mean losing your right to compensation.
What damages can I recover after an accident?
Compensation in personal injury cases often includes medical expenses, lost wages, future medical care, rehabilitation costs, and pain and suffering. In serious cases, you may also recover damages for loss of earning capacity or loss of companionship (in wrongful death claims). Every case is unique, and we work to maximize your recovery.
What happens if I was partially at fault?
California follows a comparative negligence rule. That means even if you were partly responsible for the accident, you can still recover compensation—your award is just reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you were 20% at fault, you could still recover 80% of your damages.
How much does it cost to hire a personal injury lawyer? (Mention “No fee unless we win”)
At Hakakian Law Group, there are no upfront fees. We work on a contingency fee basis, meaning we only get paid if we win your case. Our fee is a percentage of the settlement or verdict, which we’ll explain clearly at the beginning so there are no surprises.
